The Texans made some early cuts from the roster today. Among the unfortunate include linebacker Kevin Coley, tackle Doug Dedrick , punter Justin Brantly , and most notably quarterback Alex Brink . What exactly does the release of Brink mean for the team? Well, it pretty much means Rex Grossman is here to say, barring any broken bones or a putrid training camp performance. Chris at HDH put together...

Bucky Brooks reiterates just how explosive the Texans offense can be and what makes the machine operate . After two years of solid #2 receiving numbers, Kevin Walter finally gets deserved attention as a main cog in the Texans offensive behemoth. Interesting note, not a single word was uttered about the defense. No matter how much the offense improves, if the defense doesn't the team will be just what...

BFD just posted a great piece contrasting backup QB's Dan Orlovsky and Rex Grossman , but in it he made quite the bold statement: "It’s also why the Orlovsky signing is, so far, my favorite off-season move (including the draft)." Wow. I wasn't crazy about the Orlovsky signing because of the amount of money they gave him until I heard him talk a bit. As BFD points out, Orlovsky is more...

Connor Barwin is obviously a natural athlete, as he showed by his amazing Combine performance. Natural or not though, you can't expect ability alone to allow you to perform at a high level in the NFL, which is something the Barwin has shown by his intense workouts. Apparently Connor has started a boxing routine to keep him in shape and improve hand speed, something that will help him when utilizing...

With the division "bloggers" over at ESPN.com digging into their bag of gimmicks, listing top 10 "building blocks" (players you'd choose if your goal was to contend for a title over the next 3 years) I set out to expand on their concept. Building an All-AFC South cast of starters , and now a 45 man gameday-roster that fits under the cap (with room to spare for the inactives). QB:...

Although it was met with quite a bit of hand-wringing and " Orlovksy must look terrible " yelps, I think Rex Grossman 's arrival in H-Town is going to end up a non-story. Remember when Quinn Gray signed a one-year deal with your Houston Texans in March of 2008 ? Many of us breathlessly wondered whether a trade of Sage Rosenfels was imminent, or whether Gray was Schaub insurance, or whether...

The Houston Texans have struck a deal with the Texas Lottery for their own new scratch game . What does this mean to you, the average Texans fan? On the surface very little, other than the fact that you can now have your very own chance at buying a ticket worth up to $10,000.00 that comes with a fancy Texans logo. The deeper interest here is that the NFL seems to be edging closer and closer to the...
